Description[?]:
| Colleagues, As you don't mind me lashing out towards the leftist parties in this Nation, I am sure they will do the same so... There have been several from out the government to cut back the nations budget with 50%, while the money transfers towards other nations '''in need''' are continued, non-stop. It is time to put our own citizens first, we can keep footing the bill for the damage that other governments cause in their nation. Solidarity is one thing but it has to come from both sides and everybody is welcome in Rildanor and enjoy our welfare, but not unconditional. If we notice that there is an abound in immigrants from a certain country to our Nation, we will have to close the border, therefor quotas would be useful to control this. Regards. |

| Message | I must agree with you, but only partial. Tied aid I support, but is first come first serve for immigration that beneficial? Is "Quotas are based on individual applicant's qualifications." not a better option? Well, in my humble opinion anyway. The no finincial aid for all refugees I don't like. That is because it might cause refugees to bring fonts of culturual conflict in the nation, while they don't integrate and can keep their own ways the same without respect to the nation they are in. Personally I prefer "Only refugees that are victims of extreme circumstances are welcome; they are given integration-aid." because then we would not be luring people who are here just for the sake of our money here. |

| Message | We, of course, oppose. Quotas are naturally going to be racist, aid is needed to new refugees to make them valuable citizens, and aid to foreign countries bolsters our image around the world and is also the moral thing to do. Finally, these are not budget cuts. They will not reduce the amount of expenses for this country. Only the finance minister can do that by issuing new budgets. |
| Date | 23:54:33, February 07, 2006 CET | From | Front Canrillaise | To | Debating the Rildanor First Act of 2181 |
| Message | These ARE cuts, you're just focusing on the budget too much. |
| Date | 01:01:40, February 08, 2006 CET | From | Lutte Féministe de Libération | To | Debating the Rildanor First Act of 2181 |
| Message | They are not ACTUAL cuts. They are cuts in government services, but they do not increase or decrease our spending in the budget. Without these programs, more money will be allocated to other services already running in place of these that have been cut. ACTUAL budget cuts must be done through the budget proposal feature. Anyways, we reiterate our opposition to this proposal that would strip our country of our moral high ground around the world, and will severly tarnish our reputation. |

| Message | Your focus is too much on the techinicality. If you were playing the game just like it would be as a real party in a real country then you'd know that these ARE cuts, no matter what the budget says. Just because you can't see it doesn't you mean you can deny the fact that we are saving money. |
| Date | 11:50:18, February 09, 2006 CET | From | Devout Ecologists Party | To | Debating the Rildanor First Act of 2181 |
| Message | No, I believe the LPP is more correct in this matter. These are not actualy budget cuts, because only the Finance minister can do that. We are still cutting, don't get me wrong. And we are still saving money. But the money will be used for other ends in the same ministry/branch. And those other ends can be better then the current ones where part of the money is spend on, as in this case most of us think. |
